The car and road safety scenario is fine, and it is a set of circumstances that we are all familiar with. The villains out there in the cyberworld try to trap people. It is like putting in a traffic light that never existed before or putting a bend in the road that someone was not expecting. We are told not to open attachments from untrusted sources but people are doing so much that they make that mistake from time to time. That is where the weakness is. If somebody was tested on that randomly, it would keep them much more alert.
